No. 18 La Tech rolls past Texas State
Kenneth Dixon ran for four touchdowns to set a single-season NCAA freshman record and No. 19 Louisiana Tech scored on all but two possessions to beat Texas State 62-55 on Saturday night.
The Bulldogs (9-1, 4-0) have won 10 straight in the Western Athletic Conference. They racked up 627 yards, while allowing 577, and kept slim hopes for a BCS bid alive.
The Bobcats (3-6, 1-3) scored a season high in points, but it wasn't enough to overcome the record-setting efforts of Dixon and Colby Cameron.
Dixon set NCAA single-season records for rushing touchdowns (24) and total points (150) by a freshman. San Diego State's Marshall Faulk set the record for TDs in 1991 with 21 and Virginia Tech's Ryan Williams matched it in 2009. Faulk had 140 points in 1991.
Cameron completed 31 for 45 passes and improved his current streak of passes without an interception to 419. He broke the NCAA of 379 set by North Carolina State's Russell Wilson in 2008.
San Jose State 47, New Mexico State 7: At Las Cruces, N.M., David Fales threw for 276 yards and four touchdowns and San Jose State rolled past New Mexico State (1-9, 0-5).
San Jose State (8-2, 4-1 Western Athletic Conference) started putting points on the board early, as Fales and Chandler Jones collaborated on two scoring passes in the first half.
UTSA 31, McNeese State 24: At San Antonio, Eric Soza threw for 262 yards and two touchdowns on 24-of-37 passing and Texas-San Antonio (6-4) beat McNeese State (6-4).
